RE: think biggerHavent followed up much on Teck's Duck Pond mine , but recall as a shareholder of AUR that the mine life was something like 6 years which means about 2013.
Only a small amount of the ore is gold , but those high grade zones of VL sure would bring down their cash costs while adding a substantial new revenue stream to the copper and zinc production.
Like many others here, fair value here would appear to be at or above $2 per share.
